\"Layout<\/a>
Layout – First Pass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finally had a large chunk of time to make some good progress on a few projects over the weekend. Yay!<\/p>\n

I made really good progress on the Box Full of Letters top. I think I will have a top soon.<\/p>\n

As I said before the straight layout of blocks<\/a> was too boring and it felt too confined or compressed to me. I suppose the ‘modern’ movement is affecting me, because I wanted these little envelopes to breathe a bit as well.

I only have a few seams left.<\/p>\n

I am more pleased with this piece than I had been. After quilting, I think I will just put a binding on it and leave it without borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
